ci.slope.mean.bs: Confidence interval for the slope of means in a one-factor experimental design with a quantitative between-subjects factor

Description

Computes a test statistic and confidence interval for the slope of means in a one-factor experimental design with a quantitative between-subjects factor. This function computes both the unequal variance and equal variance confidence intervals and test statistics. A Satterthwaite adjustment to the degrees of freedom is used with the unequal variance method.

Usage

ci.slope.mean.bs(alpha, m, sd, n, x)

Value

Returns a 2-row matrix. The columns are:

  • Estimate - estimated slope

  • SE - standard error

  • t - t test statistic

  • df - degrees of freedom

  • p - two-sided p-value

  • LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the confidence interval

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

m

vector of sample means

sd

vector of sample standard deviations

n

vector of sample sizes

x

vector of numeric predictor variable values

Examples

Run this code
m <- c(33.5, 37.9, 38.0, 44.1)
sd <- c(3.84, 3.84, 3.65, 4.98)
n <- c(10,10,10,10)
x <- c(5, 10, 20, 30)
ci.slope.mean.bs(.05, m, sd, n, x)
